------------

I think this gallery needs someting besides dolls.
So here's one of (actually part of) the dresses from Alexander Vasiliev's collection. The exhibition "Мода в зеркале истории" is held in Museum of Moscow and lasts till 9th of October.
The exhibition is parted into 2 sections: the XIX century and the XXth century. There are lots of dresses, accessories and even a couple of old cars! What else can I say? That was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!
If you want more photos, feel free to ask :3
